Criando lição...
1
I just can't sleep.
2
Emma talks about how her stressful life has made getting a good night's sleep impossible.
3
Last night, I was fast asleep by 11 p.m., but I woke up again at 1 a.m.
4
Even though I was exhausted when I went to bed, I was suddenly wide awake, and it was impossible to get back to sleep again.
5
So I just lay there watching the clock change from 3 to 4 to 5 without sleeping a wink.
6
It was very frustrating.
7
Finally, I got up at 6.15 and went off to work feeling terrible.
8
That's a typical night for me.
9
I've had insomnia for so long I'm amazed that anyone else actually sleeps through the night.
10
And when this goes on for too many nights, I feel really shattered.
11
I'm a sales manager and I work really long hours and have to do a lot of traveling.
12
I worry about work all the time, which makes it incredibly difficult to get to sleep.
13
Sometimes I get home from work extremely late, and when I go to bed, everything is still going round my head.
14
Money's also a huge worry for me.
15
I borrowed a lot when I was a student, and I still owe 15,000 pounds.
16
I only get a full night's sleep once a month, but when I do, I feel absolutely fantastic the next day.
17
I've tried nearly everything to cure my insomnia.
18
Herbal teas, yoga, meditation, you name it, I've tried it.
19
I've also started going to the gym three times a week, but it hasn't made any difference.
20
I have a fairly healthy diet and I don't smoke or drink coffee.
21
I haven't tried hypnosis because it's very expensive and that would just add to my money worries.
22
I don't want to start taking sleeping pills because I'm terrified of becoming addicted to them.
23
Although I know it's an awful way to live, I've learned to accept that insomnia is part of my life.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
